It is important to discuss any medications and supplements you take regularly with your healthcare provider before fasting during Ramadan. Some medications or supplements may need to be adjusted or temporarily discontinued during the fasting period to prevent any potential risks or complications.

For example, if you take medications for diabetes such as insulin or oral hypoglycemic agents, your healthcare provider may need to adjust the timing or dosage of these medications during the fast to prevent hypoglycemia (low blood sugar). They may also advise you to monitor your blood sugar levels more frequently during the fast.

Similarly, some medications or supplements may need to be taken with food, and therefore may need to be adjusted during the fast. If you are taking any medication or supplement, it is important to consult with your healthcare provider to determine if it is safe to continue taking them during the fast or if any adjustments are needed.

It is important to note that you should never stop taking any medication or supplement without consulting with your healthcare provider first, as this can be dangerous and may lead to complications. Your healthcare provider can provide you with personalized guidance and support to help you manage your medications and supplements safely and effectively during Ramadan fasting.
